Lots of people are having this problem. The XP SP3 installation breaks off at about 60% completion, reports "Access Denied" and does a rollback. I have heard and read all sorts of stuff about this, from windows xp it being a trojan, to a virus, etc etc. The simple truth here is that some program has changed the registry so that SP3 can not be installed under administrator rights! Just which keys have been changed is harder to discover! There are a number of possible reasons for this, I suspect the main reason is that a couple of windows xp sp3 anti-spyware programs change registry values which prevent access. Having had this problem on a number of machines, I went looking for a "simple" solution. ( The "not simple" solution is to do a clean install!). The other "Not simple" solution is to search the registry for the reason the update failed. To do this,; Press "Start" and then "Run" Enter the following: %windir%\svcpack.log Click on "search" Enter: DoRegistryUpdatesFailed You should find something like this; xxxx.xxx: DoInstallation:DoRegistryUpdates failed. xxxx.xxx: Access is denied. xxxx.xxx: Message displayed to the user: Access is denied. ( xxxx.xxx is a time stamp). Now you have to search the registry BEFORE the error and try to find out which Registry Key caused it. This can take a long time, and there is no guarantee you will find the error either! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is some info from Microsoft on this; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377 Anyway, I found the following script for resetting registry and file permissions and it works! I have now used it on three single user and one multi-user machine, and it worked perfectly each time, allow
get one of the following errors: Service Pack 3 setup error. Access is denied. Service Pack 3 setup error. Service Pack installation did not complete Checking the svcpack.log file in c:\Windows will probably show a: DoRegistryUpdates failed Less common errors for Service Pack 3 installation failure include system hangs during installation— both during installation, file backup, and registry modification. If you have followed MS KB 949377 and Windows XP SP3 still does not install for you, please read the entire article. Per Microsoft Knowledgebase article 949377: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377 Follow the steps they recommend: Method 1: Download and then install the full Windows XP Service Pack 3 download package from the Microsoft Download Center (e.g. if you are trying from Windows update, try to download the SP3 network install and use that to install): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389/ Method 2: Method 2: Restart the computer, and then close or disable any antivirus or antispyware program that may be running. For UCLA users this typically means Sophos and Spysweeper. If Methods #1 and #2 fail, try Method 3: Method 3: Reset the registry and the file permissions Download and then install the Subinacl.exe file.
